While washing her hands at the sink, Sabrina glanced at her reflection and found the woman staring back quite unfamiliar.

Compared to other department heads who maintained friendly relations with their teams, Sabrina conceded that she was indeed a poor leader.

After being adopted by the Blakely family, she was sent to a different high school. Back then, she had also envisioned erasing the past, burying the unpleasant episodes and immersing herself in her class to begin afresh. She had made an attempt.

Two years down the line, she seemed surrounded by friends, but none appeared to be genuine.

She appeared well-liked. Classmates would acknowledge her in passing.

Yet none ever invited her to join them in the restroom or for meals.

Her popularity was primarily due to her strong academic performance, which often led classmates to seek her assistance.

Once she got to university, reality hit her hard.

She found herself isolated once more.

The image of her teacher sighing at her was still vivid.

The teacher claimed she had put up too many walls.

He mentioned never having seen a student as defensive as she was.

She never seemed to truly expose herself to others.

Even with Tyrone, she kept parts of her hidden.

She couldn't get him to open up, nor could she reveal herself to him. She never mustered the courage to confess her long-standing love for him, keeping her feelings hidden for years.

They had been married for three years, appearing to be an endearing couple.

But, in reality, she had never fully trusted Tyrone.

She brushed back a strand of hair from her forehead.

She didn't have many friends, but that was alright.

She didn't plan to stick around in Blakely Group for long.

Exiting the restroom and strolling through the workspace, Sabrina was distinctly aware of employees casting glances at her.
